1A State Basketball Tournament Preview

The defending state champion returns for both the boys (Hanover) and the girls (St. John). So can either repeat?

From what Grant Meech has written about Quinter, it sounds like it will be very tough to beat with its size. Anything can happen though and seeds mean nothing as last year Hanover was a three seed when it won the title and Quinter was a four seed and made the title game.

On the girls side the same theme holds true. St. John is the four seed this year, but it doesn't mean it cannot repeat. St. John won the title as a six seed last year. South Gray will be looking to take advantage of its top seed this year as it lost in the title game to St. John as a top seed last year.

Just like last year, Argonia is a two seed with a 25-0 record. The Lady Raiders will try not to repeat last year's state tournament performance though. Argonia lost by 22 points to Centralia in the first round last season.

So who are you picking to win? What players will change the tournament? Leave a comment and let us know.

I see there is no mention here of the Lincoln Lady Leopards. It's true they are not regulars in the state tournament, but that doesn't mean they did not work hard and deserve to be there. GO BIG BLUE!
